guy hits hurt ice ready seen tremendous warned wits
We've warned our guys. He's a guy that you can burn, but he can hurt you if you don't have your wits about you when he's on the ice because he's going to come running, and if you're not ready for it . . . I've seen some tremendous hits out of him this year.

I thought it was cheap, I thought he went low at the knees. It may not be the dirtiest hit ... but he didn't have to go low. He's known for that. He's a cheap shot artist.

They're probably talking about the hit and using the hit as motivation. I expect both teams to be physical ... we're up for every challenge. At the end of the game, our will has to exceed their will and the chips are going to fall where they may.

best good indication player plays role seen small start wonder work
When you take what was your best player out of the lineup for a long time, you start to wonder how it's going to work when he comes back. I think we've seen a good indication what it's done for our team, offensively ... He's small in stature, but big when it comes to the role he plays on the team.
